Am I considered divorced from my husband who has been uttering divorce for twenty years?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the husband frequently swears by divorce, he is mocking the rulings of Allah, and this is dangerous. Allah says: "And do not take the verses of Allah in mockery." Ibn al-Arabi interpreted this to mean that whoever takes the verses of Allah in mockery is one who violates their boundaries, and is punished by being bound by them. Since the questioner did not specify the number of divorces, their formulations, or their circumstances, it is not possible to answer. Therefore, we advise her to present the matter verbally to scholars.
